This book is the third instalment to the Bartimaeus Trilogy. The author has once again impressed people with the combination of humour and a powerful storyline.
It has been a few years since the events of The Amulet of Samarkand, and the young magician Nathaniel, now referred to as John Mandrake, has already become a member of the Cabinet in the form of the Information Minister.
Yet he insists on still commanding Bartimaeus. Old habits do die hard, don't they?
But Bartimaeus still wants his freedom, and must complete one last task before he is released from captivity.
On the other hand, Kitty Jones must also work hard and learn something which no commoner has ever learnt to do before-... (I won't ruin the surprise for you)
But soon, a great power will emerge in London, greater than any the trio have faced before ( Again, i won't ruin your surprise!)
They ( Nathaniel, Kitty and Bartimaeus) must rally together in order to defeat this power.
The storyline is powerful consisting of mostly somebody's thirst for vengeance, which will ultimately endanger London, and then the world itself) The humour is ever-present and the word usage is okay.
My rating for this book : 8/10 (Good to pass time)
